Ratings and reviews

An overall solid banking app for small business owners. I haven't yet had any major problems with the app itself. Trying to log onto the website through my desktop, however, tends to be a huge struggle. The authentication is just very buggy on the desktop version, for whatever reason that may be. Fix that, continue to make fluidity improvements to the user experience overall, and continue to work on neat features, and I'll gladly continue to use this for all my business account needs!

Been great for the most part so far - I kind of wish invoicing had additional payment options for cash (just so you have a record of it) or PayPal where they can just click a button and pay. PayPal integration into the invoicing would be amazing (and what I want the most). Having to go into 4 different places for invoices is really annoying and I'd like to have one place for everything

Update 10/23: Their security is absurd. They send confirmation codes to multiple points of contact, and you need to enter all of them just to receive an email saying they flagged your login attempt as suspicious, despite being the main device you always use to access Novo. Then, you have to confirm that you were the one attempting to log in, but their website is broken and you get a 404 error, which renders the mobile app completely useless because you can never complete the login process.
